Happy Sunday!
Anyone else feeling inspired after watching NYC Marathon coverage today?! I always have said that if I ever decided to take on a marathon NYC would be on my wish list. As it is, I did decide to throw my hat in for the 2017 NYC Half lottery – fingers crossed for the December drawing!
But, before I get too far ahead of myself…there is still running the #StripAtNight in just a few short days. So how did this week go?
Monday: Post race rest day.
Tuesday: Strength day – Keeping up with the Turkish get ups, plank series and squats.
Wednesday: 5 miles with 3 at steady state.
Thursday: 3 easy miles.
Friday: 3.2 miles more.
Saturday: Saturdays are usually my long run day. I had 8 on the plan and given the boys’ sports/activities schedule, running in the morning was just not going to be possible. So I pushed the run to later in the afternoon…and then life happened…and the run got pushed to Sunday.
Sunday: Woke up oddly tired, despite the extra hour thanks to the clocks going back. This run felt surprisingly good despite the tired legs and hilly course – 7.2 miles done!
I’m linking up again with Holly and Tricia for the Weekly Wrap. Join in and share how your week went.
Yay, I’m glad you had a good long run today. You are ready for Vegas, Baby!

I’m so excited to run the strip – not going to worry about time, just want to soak in the experience!
Las Vegas marathon is in bucket list. Looking forward to hearing about that. You have an amazing running schedule Wish I had your motivation. Good luck on NYC half.
Thanks 🙂
Sounds like a great week! Good luck with the lottery 🙂 I’ve got to get to packing for Las Vegas and making a playlist for the race. But otherwise, I think I’m as ready as I’m going to get!

Thanks Deborah 🙂
I felt very inspired after watching the NYC marathon coverage. It’s hard to believe Molly Huddle could made her marathon DEBUT and place third! All of those ladies look like they run so effortlessly! Have fun running the strip at night! Thanks for linking, Michelle!
Molly Huddle is a wonder isn’t she?! WHo comes in 3rd on their very first marathon?!
Good luck with the NYC 1/2 lottery! That’s an awesome run! I am thinking about putting my name in for the marathon for next year! It is definitely on my bucket list. I’m getting excited for Vegas!!! 🙂

Thanks Sharon – see you in a couple of days!
I’ve heard that the RnR Vegas is incredibly fun and exciting with the night lit up by the strip! Have fun! Can’t wait to read all about it.

Thanks – I think it’s going to be quite the spectacle 🙂
I hope you get in for NYC 1/2! I’d love to do that race (or even NYCM again) but with Berlin on tap next year I don’t dare push the envelope. Hooray for Vegas! You’re going to have a blast. Wish I could be there.

When is Berlin? Is there a lottery for this one too? So excited to see you take this one on!
